I receive a similar message but only when I'm replying to one particularly
person:

Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.
[Subject and Sent info]

The following recipient(s) could not be reached:
[Recipient, date, and time info]
The requested operation failed.

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

I can create a new email message and send it to her without a problem. It
is only when I reply to one of her messages that the problem occurs.

She is using Outlook Express while I am using Outlook 2003. These are
personal email accounts so neither of us are using Exchange server.
